Within more than two decades since Mozambique’s civil war ended and its first
multiparty elections were held, the country still faces persistent social, political, economical and developmental challenges. What have been some of the main drivers and threats to Mozambique’s peace? This paper examines the plans and processes that have been developed in the pursuit of national stability. It also highlights current and future challenges for continued consolidation of peace. By exploring key plans to address demobilization, disarmament and reintegration, economic and social
development, decentralization, justice, and natural resource investment, this paper puts forward seven key findings with implications for peace building in Mozambique and for the field as a whole.
